THE GNOSTIC CRUCIFIXION: THE OCCULT TEACHINGS OF JESUS AND THE MYSTERY OF THE CROSS – COLLECTION: ECHOES FROM THE GNOSIS VOL. VII – CHRISTOLOGY BOOKS

A new edition of The Gnostic Crucifixion, originally published in 1907 by George Robert Stow Mead and part of the collection Echoes from the Gnosis. Illustrated edition.

THE MYSTERY OF THE CROSS: THE SPIRITUAL PATH OF CHRIST

George R. S. Mead introduces us to the most sacred mystery of Christianity: the crucifixion. But it is not a mere historical event, nor something external to us—it is a spiritual experience of self-awareness and a symbol of divine realization and spiritual ascent.

"The cross is not merely an instrument of torment, but the Tree of Life and Death, the center of the soul’s transformation, the bridge between heaven and earth."

For Gnosis, the crucifixion is the place where the transfiguration of the soul takes place: the point at which the divine descends into the world and man ascends toward God. The cross is the invisible center of duality, where all opposites are reconciled—light and shadow, matter and spirit, man and God.

A BOOK OF CHRISTOLOGY AND SPIRITUALITY

Drawing on the Acts of John, the author guides us on a journey of spiritual transformation, where the great Passion becomes self-awareness.

The Gnostic Crucifixion takes us to the deepest teachings of Jesus as a master, revealing the true meaning of the mystery of the cross.

While the crowd sees only a wooden symbol, the Cross holds a secret—it is a living symbol: the Tree of Life, the Bread, the Faith, the Way, the central emblem of the mystery of the human being and their spiritual ascent toward the divine.

This book explores the secret teachings of Jesus: the Cross as a path and a symbol of life, its connection with Wisdom (Sophia), with Faith, and with the consciousness of the Self (Ātman). Christ is the teacher, and through his example he shows us the path of spiritual elevation.
